I presume that your are talking about fear and resulted in death. If you are scared, dont travel. Everybody has to die one day. I am of the opinion that fear should not mingle with interest. If you have interest, go, go go.. Why wait?. Make sure that you have to be alert, and not to be busybody. People of thailand is warm, helpful and curtious. Follow the local custom and ask for help when it is necessary. They will never turn you down. Visit thailand otherwise you will regret for not going there. The first time I visited Thailand was about 35 years ago and I am still going there practically at least once a month. Do be afraid.
